    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to applaud this Committee, the Member from the National Assembly and our Member Sen. Wafula, who has also picked it up and the positive energy that we have seen from all the Members led by the Chairperson, Sen. (Dr.) Murango on the effort they have put in this Bill. We say that God’s timing is the best. The Bill is here now. So, we execute it. My first input is on the definition of the sugar catchment area. In it, you realize that it is an area where farmers are clustered within a suitable sugar catchment area for purposes of election to the Board. Now, if it is only for election, it leaves out a very key important point of cane management that the Committee should note. Even as far as consideration of the catchment is concerned, it is not only for election, but also for ensuring that cane management is a priority so that farmers can benefit from the levies that will be put in place. I have seen that the Board shall focus on activities that will add value. There is also export and local market which is very important. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
